目的通过观察干扰素调节因子3(IRF3)对瘢痕疙瘩成纤维细胞增殖和细胞外基质表达的作用,探讨IRF3在皮肤纤维化中的调控机制。方法取行瘢痕疙瘩切除手术的10例患者的术中切除的瘢痕疙瘩组织为研究材料,另择8例外科手术患者的正常皮肤组织为对照,培养两者的成纤维细胞。采用real-timeRT-PCR、Westernblot检测成纤维细胞IRF3mRNA、蛋白表达水平,转染siRNAs-IRF3后IRF3蛋白水平;检测TGF-茁1诱导后瘢痕疙瘩成纤维细胞增殖情况,细胞外基质Ⅰ型胶原蛋白(collagenⅠ)、a-平滑肌肌动蛋白(a-SMA)I型胶原与TGF-茁受体Ⅰ、Ⅱ,及TGF-茁1信号通路调节蛋白p-Smad2、Smad2、p-Smad3、Smad3表达水平。结果IRF3在瘢痕疙瘩组织中表达显著上调。下调IRF3的表达,显著抑制瘢痕疙瘩成纤维细胞的增殖,并抑制collagenⅠ、a-SMA的表达,同时抑制TGF-茁1诱导的瘢痕疙瘩成纤维细胞的TGF-茁受体Ⅰ、Ⅱ的表达。下调IRF3的表达亦抑制瘢痕疙瘩成纤维细胞p-Smad2、Smad2、p-Smad3、Smad3表达水平。结论IRF3表达下调通过抑制TGF-茁1/Smad信号通路,抑制瘢痕疙瘩成纤维细胞增殖和细胞外基质的表达。IRF3或为治疗瘢痕疙瘩新的靶点。 |

Abstract: |
Objective To investigate the expression of Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) in keloid, and its function in regulating proliferation of keloid-derived fibroblasts(KFs) and expression of extracellular matrix(ECM) proteins. Methods Ten tissue samples of keloid and 8 samples of normal skin were cultured and fibroblasts were isolated. The expression of IRF3 mRNA and protein in human keloid tissues were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. KFs were incubated with siRNAs-IRF3 or scramble for 48 h; then cells were treated with TGF-茁1 (10 ng/ml) for 24 h. KFs proliferation, the
expression of type I collagen, a-SMA, TGF-茁 RI /II, p-Smad2, Smad2, p-Smad3 and Smad3 proteins were detected. Results
Expression of IRF3 mRNA and proterin was significantly higher in human keloid tissues than that in normal skin tissues. Down-regulation of IRF3 significantly inhibited KF proliferation and the expression of type I collagen, a-SMA, TGF-茁 receptor I and II in TGF-茁1-stimulated KFs. Furthermore, down-regulation of IRF3 suppressed the phosphorylation levels of Smad2 and Smad3 in human KFs induced by TGF-茁1. Conclusion Down-regulation of IRF3 inhibits the proliferation and ECM expression
in KFs via suppressing the TGF-茁1/Smad signaling pathway. IRF3 may represent a novel target for treatment of the keloid disease. |
